    Bought a M37

    Nice start for a project. I always did like the M37. nice military vehicle and just the right size to be able to do a restoration and / or running repairs in the average size garage. [thumbzup]

    Lt. Dan - The dream Deuce

    I always kind of figured that the genius that configured the Tcase linkage had the drawing upside down. Just never made any sense to have that heavy shift lever bouncing around just trying to drop into neutral. :roll:

    M35 tires

    I still run the NDCC/NDT 9 – 20 originals on mine. They are a compromise and the only real issue is they have no grooving/channels so they are very poor on wet roads and the very small contact area means they will wear quite quickly if you do a lot of driving. Aired down they worked good in the...

    Deuce up date (what I did on my Deuce today)

    You can also do a oil analysis. Most truck shops can supply the test kit and have the test done or you can use a mail in service like this. FYI I have no interest either financial or otherwise in this company. http://www.blackstone-labs.com/

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Guess it would help if I mentioned I used "M35a2 fuel pump" for the search. Sorry I forgot to mention that.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Don't limit the search to just that site. I just did a quick general search and came up with several new and used anywhere from $50.00 to $300.

    can a deuce ever be very reliable?

    Something else to consider in your decision and not knowing the laws were you are is if any special license for the larger deuce and / or you is required because of it's GVWR or number of axles. Some areas consider these to be commercial vehicles regardless of the age and are obligated to meet...

    M1009 Transmission Cooler

    Well here's my 2cents . I ran this style cooler for years and 300,000+ miles on my 89 GMC Jimmy with the 700R4 transmission. Towed everything from small utility trailers up to my 8K travel trailer with it and never had any transmission overheating problems. Mounted it to the radiator core...

    TM 9-2320-361-20 8-29. AIR COMPRESSOR GOVERNOR MAINTENANCE (Contd) c. Check and Adjustment 1. Start engine and buildup air pressure (TM 9-2320-361-10) until gage (4) reading is steady. 2. Check air pressure. Gage (4) should read 85-120 psi. 3. If air pressure gage (4) reading is correct...

    Oil pressure drops when engine warms up.

    Have you tried a second pressure gauge to verify the readings.

    Replacement Parts for MEP-002a

    Something to check also is the vent for the fuel tank cap. Mine froze closed from corrosion and a vacuum formed in the fuel tank and shut down the engine. At first I wasn't sure what the heck was going on because after sitting for a while it would start back up and run for another 20 ~ 30...

    Pyrometers

    You should be fine. If you want to hedge your bets you could use a magnet to magnetize the drill bit just like a screw driver. Just a thought.

    Welcome back ... and I just got to do it nopics

    Lucky I think : Glad for sure M1008A1

    That right there makes it worth every penny as far as I would be concerned. I can fix mechanical issues but I can't do body work so anything with rust and rot costs me 2 ~ 3 times more to fix because I have to have it done and then you never really know if it was done with best practices and...

    Speed or lack of.

    Also don't forget to check the spring in the linkage end (9) for broken coils and the accelerator pedal stop bolt for correct adjustment.
